Section 179 is what allows taxpayers to deduct CUISINE pg4 the cost of personal properties on their income taxes. Reynolds’ changes in Section 179 will align the state’s levels with the federal levels. “On a federal level, Section 179 allows businesses to immediately expense personal property, mean- ing machinery and equipment, placed in service that International Food Fair year, instead of depreciating it over several years with [Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System],” said Anya Gedlinske, a graduate student in accounting. However, Gedlinske noted the maximum on Section 179. “There is a $1 million limit on this deduction, and this limit is reduced by the amount that property placed in service exceeds $2.5 million,” Gedlinske said. “This may provide smaller businesses with an incentive to purchase more equipment since they will receive more of a tax deduction for it.” Gedlinske said Section 179 changes will benefit smaller Iowa businesses and not “big corporations” by promoting growth and competition and because of the maximum on Section 179 deductions, saying if a busi- ness owner were to place more than $3.5 million worth of property into service, they could not take advantage the Section 179 deduction.
